Robert Goddard: Long Time Coming (UK 2010) From the Publisher: His return should be of interest to no one. But the visit of a solicitor with a strange request will take Eldritch and his sceptical nephew from sleepy seaside Paignton to London, and an exhibition of Picasso paintings from the prestigious Brownlow collection. This is the starting point on a journey that will transport them back to the Second World War and the mystery behind Eldritch's imprisonment. In 1940, Eldritch was personal assistant to a wealthy diamond dealer in Antwerp, whose collection of modern art was the envy of many. The subsequent disappearance of those paintings began a trail of murder and intrigue that was to have a catastrophic effect on Eldritch's life. But untangling the web of murky secrets, family ties and old betrayals that conceals the truth will prove to be a dangerous pursuit for Eldritch and Stephen. Before long, a mysterious enemy is doing everything possible to stop the truth emerging - at whatever cost... Robert Goddard: Long Time Coming.
